Seasonal Spring and the Rio Grande by Leslie White Watercolor on Paper 30 x 22 $2,500

Watercolor is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution. Watercolor refers to both the medium and the resulting artwork. The traditional and most common support material to which watercolor paint is applied is paper. Watercolor paints can be used wet or dry.
